“Held every June, this sumptuously catered event is an opportunity to rejoin with friends and family for a night of inspiration and revelry. With a significant keynote speaker and awards ceremony, the evening is highlighted throughout,” a news release from the museum says. “The Garden Party is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and colleagues in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.”
